Girls' Brigade's GB Europe's I AM Girl appeal
Fundraising for Fields of Life
Story
Will you help GB Europe transform 1,250+ girls' lives in East Africa?
You’re invited to be part of an initiative which will give hope to 1,250 girls in GB’s 125th birthday year.
Working with UK Charity Fields of Life, Girls’ Brigade Europe has created a fundraising appeal to buy 1,250 I AM GIRL menstrual health packs which will transform the lives of 1,250 girls in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Unfortunately periods are a taboo subject in these countries and only 1 in 5 girls make it to secondary school. For many, as they don’t have access to sanitary pads or safe toilets, just having their period is of the reasons why girls drop out. Completing their full education can transform the opportunities and lives of girls in East Africa.
Fields of Life and Girls' Brigade Europe believe:
girls are entitled to dignity and a future.girls have the power to change the world.
girls and young women have the potential to be the change agents within their families, communities and nations.
girls are created equal in the eyes of God and should be valued and cherished.
By supporting the I AM GIRL fundraising initiative, you will be helping to... Cherish A Girl. Change Her World.
